A Court of Mist and Fury

By: Sarah J. Maas

Narrated by: Jennifer Ikeda

Masterful storytelling from #1 bestselling global phenomenon Sarah J. Maas brings her sexy, action-packed series to new heights.

Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart.

Though she’s now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people.

As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different people: one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin.

While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world in turmoil.

Better than Great... Outstanding!

Our story tranforms into something more than just your typical love story. Without any true spoilers: I felt a "Twilight" repeat being thrown at me in the beginning.

But then our fragile human evolves into a warrior in the Night Court. I love the characters in the night court. Just how we all imagine a house full family members interacting. Fights among each other but bands together when outsiders threaten them. The dialoge is witty and cute. The mystery of the Night Court is revealed and it's not what I thought. On a personal note I wanted more time in the Court of Nightmares. There is a good story waiting there.

We learn the flaws of all the characters. Even the perfect Spring Court has secrets. The change in our new leads was done perfectly. Not too fast or too slow. The love scenes were very unexpected. The author goes into more details with the sex scenes than any of her other books.

I giggled and cried and fell in love with the true hero in this story. I can't wait for Book 3. This sequel is better than the first book and is now one of my Top 5 of all times. However, I wouldn't suggest reading them out of order.

Absolutely profound and amazing

This book, in simple terms, is the best YA book I have read so far. Everything about it is a journey, and all of the character development was illustrated beautifully!

Jennifer Ikeda also did a wonderful job at narrating the story with her slightly rasping voice and pitch control!

Long winded

If you could sum up A Court of Mist and Fury in three words, what would they be?

This is a good book. Decent story, good characters. Fae and humans are involved which is always fun to read about! And of course the many love triangles make it exciting to root for your favorite characters.

What could Sarah J. Maas have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

This book seemed a bit long winded. The main character was in her head A LOT. Always brooding over her ex or her current situation, or how she was a stupid weak human. This book tried, I believe tried very hard to bring Fayre into a "female heroine" role. And just when you thought yeah the brooding is over and shes turning a new page, action is happening! NOPE! Surprise, she'd go right back into wallowing. Because of this, it is hard to listen to. Like I kept finding myself wanting to hit the "fast forward 30 sec" button just to get through the scene and onto the next good part!

What does Jennifer Ikeda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is amazing at narrating. Every voice is different, you can really tell whos speaking just by her amazing narration. And shes not to slow, or to fast. She did excellent with this story trying to bring some life into it!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Enjoyable for all who like to sit and wait"

Any additional comments?

This is still a good read/ listen to, just not as good as others.

In Wow! Amazing amazing amazingly written !

First, narration was amazing. Jennifer Ikeda is never a disappointment . Great job. The story is wonderful . I was looking forward to reading this continuation and going Tamlin was long gone. I just loved where evening led to. I'm trying hard not to give away too much. Now I'm going to be lost until the next book comes out and reread this s several times more. I loved it!

Fantastic!

I absolutely loved this book! The plot unfolds in unexpected twists and turns that will keep you reading at all hours unable to put it down. It is one if not THE best book I've ever read.

Better than the first book.

The first book was a little too sweet, but this one is awesome. Can't wait for the next one.

Just keeps getting better!

I was glued to my iPad! I really enjoyed the first book, but the second was outstanding. What a surprise for a series to get better as the story continues. I will be on pins and needles awaiting the next book! Hurry!

Better than the First!

I am so sad it ended! 😩I cant wait for the next. I cant wait for Rhys and Feyre happy ending

A Whole New World

Where does A Court of Mist and Fury rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Among my favorites. It expands on a world that was starting to grow in the first book while showing you why it was necessary for there to be more than one book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rhysand. Sarah J. Maas has the ability to make you barely tolerate a character then bring them to the point where they are your favorite, making you question why you didn't love them immediately. It makes for great rereading material.

Which character – as performed by Jennifer Ikeda – was your favorite?

Feyre followed by Rhysand. Feyre is the title character in this book, so the performer should make that character your favorite, but Jennifer Ikeda captures the cat-likeness of Rhsyand.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

While it's length may seem off-putting for a book you'd want to listen to in one setting, I found myself wanting to know things faster and faster.

the end=great, the rest? eh

If you like strong, independent, female protagonists, this is questionable. Through the last book there was a lot of whining, and this was no different. The plethora of pity parties was less than enjoyable. However, Rhysands character development and his world, now Feyre's, was nice. I love her new family, the woke cast and their tragic back stories.
Finally, about 3/4 of the way through Feyre started to grow a backbone.
Now, where's the rest of what seems like it's gonna be a badass ending......?!
